OVERVIEW

Smooth Aluminum Welding Starts Here

If you have ever tried to weld aluminum with a standard steel liner, you know the headache: the wire binds, the feed stutters, and eventually, you end up with a bird's nest of tangled wire at your feeder. The Miller 138255 Teflon Liner is the solution to these common shop frustrations. Specifically designed for running .030" to .035" aluminum wire, this liner replaces the abrasive steel coil in your MIG gun with a smooth, slippery Teflon tube that lets soft wire slide through without resistance.

Aluminum is tricky. It's soft, it bends easily, and it hates friction. This 14-foot liner reduces that friction to almost zero. This means your drive rolls don't have to work as hard, and the wire stays straight and true all the way to the puddle. The result? A steady, humming arc and beautiful stacked-dime welds, rather than sputtering and burn-backs. This liner is a genuine Miller part, meaning it is built to the exact dimensions required for your Miller MIG gun, ensuring no gas leaks or loose fittings.

Maintenance is key to good welding. Over time, even Teflon liners can wear out or get kinked. Swapping in a fresh 138255 liner is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to tune up your aluminum welding setup. It is perfect for anyone working on aluminum boats, trailers, or custom fabrication projects. Don't let feed issues ruin your workpiece—upgrade to the proper liner and feel the difference in your gun.

Why Choose Teflon?

  • Zero Shaving: Doesn't scrape soft wire like steel liners do.
  • Consistent Feed: Slippery surface prevents binding and stuttering.
  • Cleaner Welds: Prevents metal debris from entering the weld pool.

FAQ

Aluminum wire is soft and can easily be shaved or deformed by the rough interior of a standard steel liner. Teflon provides a smooth, low-friction surface that prevents these issues and ensures consistent feeding.

It is not recommended. Steel wire is abrasive and will quickly wear through the soft Teflon material, leading to liner failure. Use steel wound liners for steel wire.

This specific liner (Miller 138255) is designed for wire diameters between .030 inches and .035 inches.

Install the liner into the gun and seat it fully. Mark the liner at the back end according to your gun's manual (usually flush or sticking out slightly), remove it, and cut it with a sharp knife or liner cutter to ensure a clean, burr-free edge.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller Electric OEM part, ensuring perfect compatibility with Miller welding equipment.

While bird-nesting can be caused by several factors (drive roll tension, contact tip size), using a Teflon liner significantly reduces friction, which is the leading cause of bird-nesting with aluminum wire.

The liner is 14 feet (14.000) long, making it suitable for guns of that length or shorter (when trimmed).
